Thats just gives me a sad :<
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
Sad? Well it would make the CEO's of a large business like PWE sad if they spent a ton of dough to develop a game such as NWO and never see anything in return for that investment because they couldn't find a way to earn any money off of it. Instead of whining that you actually have to buy only a few things in a F2P game, a game that you can honestly enjoy without spending a cent, why don't you come up with other ideas on how they could provide an income from their investment if you're so upset about it? If they had no means to earn an income from the game, there would be no game.
To the poster above me: PWE is a billion dollar company. This attempted cash grab from id scrolls is not needed and a horrible idea. Look at how well trying to force people to spend money worked for SWTOR. Here's a hint: it didn't and the game is dying because of it.
This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.
Unless you're identifying every single drop you find you'll more than likely not have a problem with identifying things and even that's mostly a problem at level 60. I personally think they do cost a bit much at 60 but daily invoking should give you at least enough to buy 10 or so or them. And doing some dailies a bunch more. Nobody has to spend real money on ID scrolls.. ever!
Seems like yet another whole bunch of crying "cash grab" over nothing.
The thing is everything is a horrible idea to someone. Everything. Some don't like paying for respecs, ID scrolls, enchantment protections, whatever. Any single thing they decide to charge for someone will come up with a logical reason why its a horrible idea and ruining the game. Heck to some people the game being ftp in the first place is a horrible idea.
They obviously looked at stuff and made their decisions. Maybe they'll adjust things later, maybe not. But that doesn't mean its the end of the world... or the game.
Wow, they sure are monetizing ID scrolls. /sarcasm
Get this, they obviously are not monetizing the scrolls. What they are used for is a money sink. They cost AD, you are extremely easily able to get enough AD to buy every single character all the ID scrolls they ever need in maybe 1.5 hours (that's 1 daily dungeon, 1 daily skirmish, 1 daily foundry, and 1 daily pvp). The point isn't to make money off of them, its to have a way of removing AD from the system to prevent hyper inflation that comes with a currency that is infinity generating with no money sink.
Anyone who says they are monetizing them is either lying or incompetent.
Look at how well trying to force people to spend money worked for WoW. Here's a hint: Billions. Literally billions of USD.
At 11 you'll be able to invoke. Scrolls at that point are only 15AD. You could also do the skirmishs while the skirmish events are active with the bonus AD reward. At 8-11 or so you can do the Blacklake Skirmish which takes about 5 minutes so just do that like 10 times and there you go.. An easy 10k AD.
You get two free ID scrolls in the tutorial. Another 5 from the adventurers chest when you hit level 5. That's 7 scrolls handed to you by level 5. Even if you decided to identify the shoes that you get, that still leaves 6 scrolls.
If you are not yet level 10, just how, exactly, have you been unable to identify any greens for more than 5 levels?
Oh, and just as a public service announcement: Don't ID green stuff that you have outleveleled or can not equip.
Probably not the worst idea not to ID those tutorial shoes, either. Not like they are going to make much difference between success and failure.
Some people play casually so maybe they only pray once a day, where someone like you might do it 20 times a day
This. Yeah, I'm not at cap yet, but the most I've done on each of my characters is buy an initial 10 tier-2 ID scrolls when I started getting lv30 gear. As mentioned, I don't ID things that are of no interest - greens for other classes, stuff that I've got higher-level already, etc. Scrolls from drops is plenty.
edit: actually, I should probably ID more things at low level. Most of my characters, when they transition to normal ID scrolls, have 30-50 Minor ones left over.
(blue items, on the other hand.... I've maybe gotten six random blue drops across all my characters, and that's six characters between 20 and 40. And maybe another 6 from dungeons - I only roll greed on blues I can't use. Green is my normal level of equipment.)
Wat annoyed me more than anything however was not being able to use a level 59 scroll on a level 59 item when I was level 60. The description says nothing about MY level!
From what I gather you only get AD on the first 3 invokes of the day with the first one the largest amount then going down with the next two. Usually something like 1000/600/300 (not exact numbers but generally seems to scale like that). So even if someone is only on for an hour that's still two invokes and easily enough to keep them in ID scrolls through level 59.
I've found that soloing Foundry missions is a good source of ID scrolls at 60, if you don't waste the ones you get on the first slightly shiny green that drops. Ive not run into that at all if I have normal and Greater ID scrolls in my inventory. Are you entirely sure that it was a level 59 item and ID scroll?
